Andrea Doughtie, Rural Painter

So–snow a few days ago but the first of May was perfect for a celebration on the village green.  Ed (wearing air boot) and several other musicians provided music.  There were morris dancers and picnic fare, a May queen arriving by carriage.  People were dressed for spring and everybody was so happy to be out in the sunshine.  Later in the day we enjoyed a concert of madrigals in the community bldg.  Then Ed and I had a gin and tonic on the porch   In Houston we hardly noticed spring since it was so warm most of the year.  Here it’s a big deal. 

Note:  This post was supposed to appear at the beginning of May but being the technoklutz that I am I inadvertently stuck it in an old abandoned drawing blog where it has languished.  Ed has recently gotten rid of the boot and now walks mostly without even a cane.
